Cavalier Bartolomeo, Altenasso, Barolo DOCG 2012

In
1980, the wines of Barolo, in Italy's Piedmont region, became one of the first
Italian wines to receive DOCG status, Italy's highest classification for
wine. The wines of Barolo are as
noteworthy as the wines from Bordeaux or Burgundy. Barolo is made from Nebbiolo, a small, thin
skinned red grape varietal that is generally high in acid and tannins. The wines are rich, full-bodied, and are
extremely age-worthy. In order to comply
with DOCG regulations, the wine must be aged for at least 2 years in oak and
one year in bottle.

This amazingly elegant and pure Barolo has been poured by the glass at Yountville’s Bottega Restaurant seemingly forever, and for good reason! Supple, finely wrought and oh-so food friendly, is it any wonder Barolo is considered the King of Wines and the Wine of Kings? The Nebbiolo grape shines in this wine, exhibiting soft rose petal and trademark tar aromatics. The light color in the glass belies the deep and complex nature of this bottling. Put simply, this is a thrilling Barolo at an UNREAL price. (Going to need to stock up with this one.)
